IE Performance Tune For C7 Audi A6/A7 (CREC)

Your 2016-2018 Audi A6/A7 3.0T with the updated CREC supercharged engine capable of massive power gains in only minutes from an IE ECU Tune. Unleash hidden horsepower and torque to turn your sporty A6 or A7 into an extremely competitive powerhouse in only minutes from your phone!

3.0T CREC STAGE 1

IE Stage 1 tunes for your Audi A6 or A7 instantly increase performance with more horsepower, torque, and faster acceleration. With octane specific map options for 91, 93, or E85 octane, fill up with your choice of fuel with no hidden power left behind. Engineered to operate on completely stock hardware or compatible with intake, heat exchanger, and exhaust upgrades.

STAGE 2 SINGLE PULLEY

Stage 2 single pulley files are calibrated to increase performance and deliver increased boost from a supercharger pulley upgrade. This ECU calibration combined with a 57.5mm bolt-on supercharger pulleydelivers up to 524HP with minimal hardware upgrades.

E85 ETHANOL

E85 fuel unlocks the most performance potential from our ECU tunes for your Audi A6 or A7 3.0T. Ethanol contains tons of oxygen, burns cooler, and has a high resistance to knock. This provides more horsepower and torque than running conventional gasoline and is more readily available (in most states) and less expensive than race gas. Safeguards are included within the E85 ECU calibrations to adjust for ethanol as low as E60 to allow safe fill ups even if the ethanol content is lower than advertised. E85 is an optional fuel map included with all tune purchases.

BRAKE BOOST

Commonly used in roll racing, Brake Boosting allows you to build extra boost by applying brake pressure while accelerating. Release the brake pressure for a "rolling launch" or extra surge of power. Brake Boost is included on all tune stages.

INCREASED RPM

Take full advantage of your supercharger with a larger power band. RPM limits have been raised to 7200RPM in all stages. This higher RPM limit not only extends the power band, but also unlocks 20+HP in the upper RPM range! Transmission TCU Tune is required to unlock higher RPM.

OPTIMIZED COOLING

To combat power-robbing heat soak generated from the supercharged engine the factory coolant pump calibration has been modified in all ECU Tune stages. This new configuration runs the coolant pump at 50% duty when the ignition is keyed on pushing coolant through the charge coolers and reducing heat faster without the engine running. This helps avoid heat soak and provides faster recovery in-between runs or while staging at the track. During driving or when the intake temp is above 20C, the coolant pump operates at 100% for maximum cooling efficiency.

TCU Tune:

The IE Transmission Tune for your Audi supercharged A6, A7, or SQ5 3.0T delivers increased power, higher RPM limit, faster shifts, variable launch control and additional transmission performance features when paired with the matching ECU tune. Acceleration times will greatly improve turning your tuned supercharged engine into a fully rounded performance monster.

PERFORMANCE MATCHED

IE's record breaking 3.0T ECU Tunes are fully realized performance calibrations that deliver unmatched power figures. Without a matching TCU tune, the transmission will short shift the powerband at 6300RPM vs the tune's peak power at 7200RPM -leaving power on the table. Furthermore, the TCU upgrade modifies shift speed, torque limit maps, line pressure, and launch control functions, to fully match your ECU calibration. As a result, horsepower and torque levels are raised and acceleration is greatly improved to create a complete ECU & TCU performance package.

VARIABLE LAUNCH CONTROL

The IE ZF8 AL551 TCU Tune includes a variable launch control to deliver chest pounding launches from a stop. 3 different launch RPMs (street, aggressive, or race) are included to dial in the fastest launch for your vehicle and tire setup. With the optimized launch mode set in your TCU, you can launch to the moon knowing your tires will put down the maximum power needed for the fastest launch.

ONE TUNE FOR ALL STAGES

IE’s ZF8 AL551 TCU tune is all-inclusive without any unnecessary upgrades or additional charges for future ECU Tune upgrades. All features and optimizations are included for any level of hardware or performance stage, one cost and you are covered for all and any future upgrades.

REFINED DRIVE

The factory transmission calibration has many performance short comings leaving much to be desired by the enthusiast driver. IE software engineers have completely reworked the transmission tune computer with performance driving in mind. This new calibration is much more refined, removes the factory "clunky" feeling, and completely transforms the feel of your supercharged Audi in every driving scenario.

TORQUE LIMITER RAISED

ECU Tuning and pulley upgrades unlock huge power gains from the 3.0T supercharged engines. Increasing the torque limits and line pressure mapping allows for the transmission to hold power increases without causing transmission slip or expedited wear.

ENGAGMENT LAG REDUCED

The transmission engagement has been reworked to reduce annoying lag when shifting from park or reverse into drive. This feature is most noticeable in daily driving scenarios and makes your every day commute much more enjoyable.

Features:

• Performance matched calibration for all IE 3.0T ECU tunes
• Refined drive for the automotive enthusiast
• Higher 7200RPM shift limit
• Increases torque limits
• Lightning-fast shift times
• Engagement lag reduced
• Removed manual shift delay
• Line pressure increased to protect against trans slip
• Variable launch control for dialed-in launches 
• Direct port OBDII at-home flashing
